VALVE OF THE GLOBE TYPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 16, 1909.

Application led January 6, 1908. Serial No. 409,591.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY J. KIEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at No. 30 Sixteenth street, I/Vheeling, in the county of Ohioand State of fest Virginia, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Valves of the Globe Type, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in valves of the globe type, andthe object of my improvement is to reduce the height of the upper partof the valve, so that it can be concealed in a floor or partition. Iattain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the form which I consider preferable.Fig. 2 is a vertical section of an alternative form or modification.

The preferred form shown in Fig. 1 consists of a casing or valve body 1,divided by a partition 2 into a supply chamber 3 and an outlet chamber4. The ends 5 and 6 of the body 1 are threaded for pipes communicatingwith the two chambers 3 and 4. Through the partition 2 is a passage way7 surrounded by a seat 8. A disk 9 is so disposed that when brought incontact with the seat 8 the passage way 7, will be closed. The disk 9 isattached to a stem l0 and 17, one end 10 of which passes through thepassage way 7, and is provided with an operating screw 11, engaging withthe threads 12 tapped on the inside of the projection 14 on the lowerside of the body 1. There is also a chamber 15 in this projection 14into which the operating screw 11 can pass. The other end 17 of the stempasses through the packing 18, and its upper end is formed into a square19 or other form adapted to be engaged by a key not shown. The upperpart of the valve body 1 is provided with an opening 20 through whichthe disk 9 and other parts can be removed, which opening 20 is closed bya recessed lower gland 21. The recess of this gland 21 is filled withpacking 18 to prevent leakage, the packing is covered by a Washer 22,and forced down by an upper gland 23. The upper gland 23 has lugs 24 orother means for turning it, the outside is threaded to engage withthreads 25 tapped on the inside of a collar 26 which projects from theupper side of the body 1. The inside of the upper gland 23 is alsotapped with threads 27 engaging similar threads on the outside of anipple 28 attached to the lower side of a plate 29 which conceals thevalve from view.

The alternative form shown in Fig. 2 consists of a casing or valve body31, divided by a partition 32 into a supply chamber 33 and an outletchamber 34. The ends 35 and 36 of the body 31 are threaded for pipescommunicating with the two chambers 33 and 34. Through the partition 32is a passage way 37 surrounded by a seat 38. A disk 39 is so disposedthat when brought in contact with the seat 38, the passage way 37 willbe closed. The disk 39 is attached to a stem 40 and 47, one end 40 ofwhich is provided with an operating screw 41 engaging with threadstapped on the inside of a plug 42. This plug 42 has a small chamber 45into which the operating screw 41 can pass, and lugs 46 for screwing itin place, and its outside is threaded to engage with similar threads 43on the inside of a projection 44, on the lower part of the valve body3l. The inside diameter of the threads 43 is large enough to allow thedisk 39 to be put in place, or removed when necessary. The other end 47of the stem passes through the passage way 37 and packing 48 and itsupper end is formed into a square 49 or other form adapted to be engagedby a key not shown. The valve body is provided with an opening 50through which the stem 47 passes. Above this opening 47 is placedpacking 48 to prevent leakage, the packing 48 is covered by a washer 52forced down by a gland 53. The gland 53 has lugs 54 or other means ofscrewing it down, its outside is threaded to engage with similar threads55, tapped on the inside of a collar 56 projecting from the top of thebody 31. The inside of the gland 53 is also tapped with threads 57engaging with similar threads on the outside of a nipple 58 attached tothe bottom of a plate 59 which conceals the valve from view.

Having described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters 1 tition provided with a valve-seat, of a valve the valve havingscrew-threaded engagedisk adapted to close said aperture,a screwmentwith said gland. 10 threaded stem on one side of said disk, where- Intestimony whereof I affix my signaby the latter is raised and lowered,an opture in presence of two witnesses.

' erating stem on the other side of said disk, v HENRY J. KIEL.
